I believe that this photo is a good example of vantage point being the "key to flatness"--although there is obviously a subject of the photo (the suited man in the foreground), we clearly get to see the people in the background as well, their actions making a straight line across the middle. One second before or after, and this photo might not have worked as well. We also get to see a glimpse of what the suited man might be seeing--his "vantage point."
The shallow depth of field of this photo definitely separates the the photo's subject from it's contents, and therefore outlines the spatial hierarchy present. The sharpness of the glasses in the foreground (the photo's"plane of focus") draws us to them, and only at a second look can we separate the chairs from the table and the shadowy figure of the person in the background.
